Waste of money, you can get superior quality from a basic DAC like an SMSL SU-1 DAC (~99$): it'll blow any analog source with ease.... Chase good recordings, this is where the quality is from.. Analog is lower fidelity across the board... Basic undergrad stuff in electrical engineering...
All that you said i already heard but i can assure you that i´ve tried with diferent Amplifiers and Speakers from the 70´s ,the 80´s , the 90´s and from 2019 and having good Turntables and good CD players with very good internal dac´s,
as i do prefer to change the internal one for a better DAC that is cheap to do , Analog is far more advanced than Digital and i have nothing against Digital, (almost low-fi)
I have a home DAT deck since they came out by Sony, the only available at the time, but i understand not everybody as a system that sounds perfect and can notice the diferencies between a Record, a Compact Disc ,a DAT a Minidisc or Cassette Decks and the best of all,(drums) Reel Open Deck,
i almost considerd the DAT as good as the Reel Open Deck but close never equal as it is the highest form of home taping and sound quality ,
whatever you record into a Reel will sound better and not one format can achive the Reels quality of sound as there is no Cassette Deck that can do so, maybe close but no cigar.
About electronic engeniering there is nothing basic about digital and i could say in 50 years for sure digital will be the best but already is,
just not to us consumers ,the perpectuation of the CD format a 70´s developed digitral format still survives today, only because it´s cheap and in general people prefer it but in the late 80´s there was already a more advanced format in digital,
but for economical reasons will be always like it was when they developed it 40 something years ago,not equal as in the 80´s the CD´s were built from a much better and expensive material.
I remenber most of the people with knowledge comenting the so expected SACD, "it will be a cd with vinyl quality" but at the time we never called Vinyl to Records, as there are more than vinyl to make records as wax that all coloured records are made of,
the SACD already came out but far from what was promissed and nothing that is interesting to me, allthough i bought a sony SACD player ,the first i saw because the price was what today is 400 and something €´s but a year passed and still in the same spot but somehow the price tag was 80€, all in brushed aluminium and strangelly from Sony as it looked well built but only stereo as it was suposed to be.
I think you already notice that as we go forward in time old devices become fashion and most of the guitars in use are Gibson or Fender from the 50´s till the late 60´s as the amplifiers also are ,i do remenber when they started to use again orange amplifiers and also the use of electronic keyboards instead of synthesizers, like the moog and melotron and many more like the electric piano from Fender.
I´ll wait for it to happen, Digital over Analog and your words will be the truth.
